T EST CRICKET —the version of the game in which matches can take five days—is a sport of oddities. This week has seen another one. India and Australia are in south London contesting the World Test Championship final, the last in a two-year sequence of matches involving all the Test-playing countries. And India have not selected the man who is quite possibly the best Test cricketer on the planet: Ravichandran Ashwin.
T EST Cricket(比赛的版本可能需要五天)是一项奇怪的运动。本周又看到了一个。印度和澳大利亚在伦敦南部参加世界考试冠军决赛,这是两年涉及所有测试国家的比赛。印度还没有选择那个可能是地球上最好的测试板球运动员的人:拉维坎德兰·阿什温(Ravichandran Ashwin)。
